To teach walking into the classroom procedures, it should be communicated on the first day of school. A teacher should talk about why it is important, list the steps on the board, maybe model the steps, and then have students practice. Some of these procedures are:
1) Students will walk into the room quietly, keeping their hands to themselves.
2) Sit down at their assigned seat.
3) Raise hands if they need anything, get materials for the next class, or if they have a question.
4) If no materials are needed, they will quietly get to work on an assignment they have with them.
5) If the teacher talks to them or gives instructions, the student will listen and follow directions.
Transitioning from one class to another can be problematic.

4) Line up at the door in the classroom.
5) Walk quietly toward class when the teacher gives permission.
The end of the day procedures will be taught starting on the first day of school also. Steps can be listed on the board have students rehearse them. The steps are:
1) When the last class of the day is dismissed, walk into the room quietly with hands to yourself.
2) Gather homework or other materials from the desk and put things in a backpack.
3) Sit at the assigned seat.
4) You may talk quietly.
5) When bell rings, walk to the door and walk down the hall to exit.
The classroom routines that should be undertaken will be mainly based on the time for cleaning of the classroom, the furniture arrangement, and duty roster for each of the individuals that will be involved in the cleaning process. Other areas that should be considered include the arrival and departure time from the classrooms. It will be important that students should arrive at the same time or a difference in no more than 10 minutes. This will give them a conducive environment for preparing them for the learning process. The development of routines is important in addressing the class management issues and this is integral in the planning process. For the routines, the attendance of students is important and the teachers should provide students with information on the daily attendance record and reward them at the end of the week. The cleaning of classrooms
Get students to participate in clean up activities, then have an assistant continue to clean up while you move students to new tables or to a sit-down area on the floor.
Provide thorough and consistent classroom structure. The more structure there is the more likely it is for students to stay on track. Structure and planning takes time but the clearer everything is the easier the class will flow. For example: make sure everything is prepared before the students enter the classroom. (preventative strategies for classroom management, n.d.)
Each student was responsible for cleaning up the area they were last at and walking quietly to their number for circle time.
What are my procedures during class interruptions? I will have certain whistle blows so that the students know what to do. If I blow the whistle once, they will know to stop and be quiet. If I blow the whistle twice, it will be for students to get dressed. If I blow the whistle three times, it will be for students to begin their assigned activity. Interruptions to physical education can be tolerated more easily. After instruction, students will basically know what they are required of. If an interruption were to occur and someone needed me, I could tell them exactly what I wanted done when I left and they could complete until I got back. If I found out someone wasn’t doing what I asked, I would/could take points off. We would just have to deal with interruptions over the
Manage seatwork: Seating will strategically be set up to accommodate the assignment and allow for student monitoring. Students will be advised of the appropriate rules during seatwork, such a raising their hands for questions. As younger students tend to have a shorter attention span, seatwork will be set up at short intervals to prevent off task behavior. Moreover, frequent circulation will also be done to not only aid in preventing off task behavior, but to ensure students understand and thus are able to successfully complete their assignments with confidence. Furthermore, as younger students are beginning to develop and/or understand the value of intrinsic rewards, positive encouragement and praise will be part during circulation monitoring, which will also promote a positive learning environment.
Establish a sense of responsibility by creating rules and expectations as a class. Have clear visual cues of responsibilities and consequences around the room. Use the support of other staff in implementing classroom management strategies. Use the school discipline system to monitor student behaviour. If students engage in misbehaviour, they receive a warning and are then sent to the timeout desk to reflect and write in the timeout book.
- For cafeteria procedures, the student start from the playground. They would line up and go back inside the building around 10 minutes early to get their hands wash. We would take them to the rest room, and have boys and girls make two lines and start to wash their hands and use the rest room if needed. Once done, one student will carried a big basket that held the lunch boxes that they dropped in before the morning start. Inside the basket are also their I.D. for students who eat school lunch.
Firstly, etiquette makes an agreable and a peaceful classroom. These days, there is a misconception that etiquette is about formal behavior. The foundation of etiquette is kindness to others, treating others as you would like to be treated. Although many of its rules evolved into f...
I try imparting into them the importance of an education and how they contribute to the growth of our society. In my classroom, I am in control. I draw a clear line between what and how much my students are allowed to do in the classroom. In the first week of school, I establish my authority and I clearly and explicitly express my classroom and outside the classroom procedures that will be followed and the rights that every student has in the classroom. Some examples, all students have the right to learn, all students have a right to be heard, and all students have a right to be respected. There are consequences for those that chose not to abide. This set the tone for my classroom environment for the entire year so, that learning may take
My priority will be to get them settled and calm while continuing my plans for the class. I will ask the student if he/she would liike to talk during the class warm-up or if they wish to go to see the school counselor for more a indepth conversation. At this
Classroom management has the largest effect on student achievement, so students cannot learn in poorly managed classroom. Additionally, research has pointed out that the quality of teacher-student relationships is the main aspect of classroom management.(…2). Furthermore, when teachers set classroom management plan, the plan will give structure to everything from seating to lessons to grading to the relationship between students. Teachers should incorporate strategies for addressing student behavior into classroom
Every teacher must have a set of classroom routines and procedures to maintain order in the classroom. When entering the classroom, students will enter in a quiet manner. They will sit at their assigned desk and have all material ready to begin on required work. Once the bell rings and the door is closed, students will be seated and working. Tardiness is unacceptable and if the student receives more than three unexcused tardies per nine weeks, a referral will be given to the office and a phone call will be made the parent or guardian. Also, students should not be more than three minutes late to class. This will result in an automatic referral to the office.
... lunch room, distributing materials, carrying messages to office etc. These tasks can be assigned to different students every week. Effective teachers make sure that every student has a job so that they feel responsible. These activities can also be used to reward improved behavior (Evertson, Emmer, and Worsham, 2006). Jones describes routines as operational rules. Jones says, “Operational rules must be specified to provide for smooth operations, which include materials to use, when to sharpen pencils, get a drink, go to the bathroom, how to get help and how the class is dismissed” (Allen, 1998). An effective way of establishing routines would be considering each and every minute detail of classroom activities. Children should know the importance of rules and routines in the classroom and it is a teacher’s responsibility to teach them (Canter &Canter, 1992).
When a student, enters the classroom, it is important for them to know what is the teacher’s expectations. A procedure explains how a teacher wants something done, and then the teacher explains the procedure to make sure the class understands it. The reason procedures are necessary for the classroom is to make sure a classroom can effectively function; as well as reducing classroom interruptions and discipline problems because they tell students how things will work. When teaching procedures, a teacher should focus on explaining what is expected of the students, then practicing that expectation, and reinforcing the expectation so that it becomes a routine. It is important to present these procedures the first day of school and through out the next couple of weeks so that students can begin to make these procedures a part of there routine. Janelle Cox, the author of the article, Classroom Management Procedures, listed topics that a teacher should have procedures for to help their classroom run smoothly. These topics are Entering the classroom, Leaving the classroom, Asking a question, Transitioning from activities, Being in the hallway, When to sharpen your pencil, and Collecting papers. By putting these practices in place and modeling
Teaching classroom rules and procedures will contribute to a safe and secure environment for students. Classroom rules should be the same for everyone, however, like I mentioned above there are exceptions to be made on an individual basis. All interactions within the classroom should be positive. There will be no teasing or harassing of any kind. Respect, trust, and understanding will be the foundation of classroom rules. It is important to keep an open mind and treat each student with fairness, with the hope that in return students will learn to treat each other as equals and with
